Using the fcsmgr utility

Use the fcsmgr utility to perform basic management tasks for the Flash Communication Server service and the Admin service. You must be a root user to use the fcsmgr utility. The following table describes the commands for the fcsmgr utility.

Command	Description
fcsmgr setautostart	Sets the Flash Communication Server service to start automatically when the system is started.
fcsmgr clearautostart	Sets the Flash Communication Server service to be started manually. This command only affects the server service; Admin services cannot be started automatically.
fcsmgr server start	Starts the Flash Communication Server service.
fcsmgr server stop	Stops the Flash Communication Server service.
fcsmgr server restart	Stops a running Flash Communication Server service and restarts it.
fcsmgr server abort	Stops a running Flash Communication Server. Processes, such as streaming or garbage collection, are not allowed to complete.
fcsmgr adminserver start|stop|abort|restart	Starts, stops, restarts, or aborts the Admin service.

For other administrative tasks, such as adding users or checking the status of applications, you use the Administration Console. For more information, see Using the Administration Console. Although you do not need to be a root user to use the Administration Console, the Admin service itself does need to be started by a root user using the fcsmgr utility before anyone can use the Administration Console.
